Spurs vs Magic: Preseason Game Thread: 10/22/13

Lol, CoJo, Mills and DeCrapo in the game at the same time.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Baynes looks bad on offense but he protects the paint at least.

[TheGreatYacht]

I can't watch it anymore. De Colo just single handedly blew our 30pt lead

he's working on the hookshot, which is probably the hardest shot in the game, and his jumper.

He definitely picked it up as the game went on. Great screens as usual, another baseline jumper, block above the rim, cut off several guys to keep them out of the lane, able to get out on guys on the perimeter and recover. Bad double team and late on a rotation or two but infinitely better than the turd towers lineups.

and he made Dwight Howard quit.

K Leonard cracks me up. These Q&A sessions are a joke to begin with but his straight-faced answers to just about every question are hilarious. Tim Duncan has never liked doing the pressers but he's gotten used to it and can feign amusement. Leonard's reactions however, are pure comedy gold. Is there any doubt he would win a staring contest with a statue?

He rarely flashes a smile or makes a candid comment which to me has become Must Watch TV. In this interview, he kind of laughs when he says the team just wants to simulate the season and get to the playoffs but other than that, he's all business.

Reporter: How was the donut?

Kawhi: (In all seriousness) Yesterday ? It was good. It was pretty good.

that's just because he's a famous basketball player, if he werent, he'd just be a in weirdo.

same thing with girls...

hot, quiet guy = mysterious, dark, handsome
ugly, quiet guy = creep, anti-social, introverted, weirdo

You've been rejected a lot, haven't you?

Missed the second half and just saw the box score, did Patty explode as much as it appears he did on paper? 5 steals, crikey!

He was really active with his hands and I only noted him overplaying an obvious move to give up the lane once. Shot well for 3 and finished well at the rim, ran the floor. Undoubtedly the best game of his this preseason.

[benfti]

Did he play a lot with Manu and Belly?

Thanks I always like the feminine perspective.

Hey guys quick question, is league worth the money for watching all games other than the ones that are blacked out? Does anyone here have any negative comments about league pass (digital cable)?

[spurs10]

Great pics ace3g thank you!

[timtonymanu]

Missed the game. Game observations would be greatly appreciated.

Kawhi beasted, looks very promising as a first option. Patty went off, not sure if had any good assist but he shot the ball damn well. Marco did his thing. TP didn't play. Ayres was mediocre. Duncan moved well, same ol Duncan. Danny Green actually finished at the rim a couple of times. It was unbelievable.

[loveforthegame]

Welcome to 2009

Yeah I know. But even in a blow out preseason game I can't stomach watching him out there.

[RD2191]

My bad on Ayres, actually drew some fouls.

Thanks. What about CoJo or did he underwhelm again?

[RD2191]

Underwhelmed tbh, had some nice assist but also turned the ball over 4 times. I just don't see him as any sort of offensive threat. The only reason he plays over Mills is because he plays good defense. If only he had Mills's offensive game

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Did he play a lot with Manu and Belly?

Yes the trotted out Mills Manu Belli Ayers Diaw and that blew the game open. He got a cup of coffee with the ones and finished up with the Mills Cojo DeColo Bonner Baynes travesty as well.

I thought playing for Canada is gonna be a positive for Cojo, I hope he can recover in time to play well at the start of the regular season.
